to be regretted the game could not
be played out as both sides were
playing with a clcverness not often
seen on the ball ground. Brilliant
plays were Of frequent occurrence.
and the clubs seemed to be evenly
matched. Mr.. Joseph may have been
honest in his umpiring, but his sym.
patty for his own club allowed him
to give decisions that were utterly
at variance with one another. After
considerable discussion it was agreed
to send for league umpire and play

The NavH,s Expenses

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Fourth
Auditor Shelley, in his annual report
to the Secretary OF the Treasury, shows
the financial operations of the United
States navy during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1887, as follows:
Amount appropriated, $38, 1873 $50;
drawn out by warrants, SIS, 152 1876;
balance on hand. $22, $50, 423; expended,
as shown by vouchers, SD, 1874 ,291;
amount overpaid. s28 ,301; carried to
surplus fund, $416037. During the
year, 81 ,124, 1876 was paid on account of
6,l9S navy pensioners. The auditor
objects to the system by which the
disbursing officers are allowed to pay
out large sums on contracts before the
bills have been audited, suggests that
steps should be taken to have all de-
mands for payments under contracts in
the navy presented to his office for
settlement and that payments by the
disbursing officers be restricted to
necessary current expenses, such as
the paw of officers and men, supplies
needed for immediate use. expenditures

Reviving the war Issue.

CLEVELAND, O., November 3.-Senator
John Sherman addressed the Rep1bli-
cans of Youngstown tonight. Among
other things he said: "Three months
ago, there was no disposition on the
part of Republicans not to revive the war
issue or to stir up luminosity between
the north and south. The recent cele-
bration in the south and the glorihca-
ton of Jefferson Davis with a speech
made by Jackson at Macon, Ca, have
compelled the Republicans 20 face the
issues that, with their consent, WOULD
never again be brought to the 6s surface ace:
the Ohio canvass was q bad political
move on the part OF the Democratic
managers.

Quieting a Title.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Secre-
tary Lamar. to-day, rendered decision
which will, in effect, tend to quiet the
title to large quantity of land in Cali
fornia selected by the State as in
demnity school land. The case came
up upon the appeal of D. G. Powell,
from the decision OF the Commissioner
of the General Land Office holding in
indemnity certain sections confirmed to
the State by the remedial act of March
L, 1887. The Secretary quotes with ap-
proval, the rulings of his predecessors
of the Attorney-General upon the sub
Ject and affirming the Commissioner.
object of the statute of March ], 1877,
was to confirm to the State all defective
or invalid selections which have been
made and approved to the State prior
to its passage, except that occupied by
bona hde settlers prior to such certii-
cation, excepting, also, those mentioned
in the first prOv1so to Section 2 of said
act, and excepting, also, those selec-
tons made in lieu of sixteenth or a
thirty-siXth section, which had been
surveyed in place and the title to which
had become vested in the State
at the date said selections were
made. In cases like the one under
consideration, where the State. before
selecting indemnity, alleged that the
school sections, or part thereof, had
been lost to her by reason of the same
being included within the Mexican or
Spanish private grant, and where such
selection had been approved to her be-
fore the passage of the confrmatory act
of March 1st, 1877. 1t is the opinion of
the department that such selections are
confirmed by that act, even though
upon final surveys of public lands, it be
found that the basis of such selections
had not been cast, as alleged, and as
corollary thereof, that the United States
thereby resume ownership on such basis.

Deputies to day. The first clause OF
the bill was adopted after a spirited de-
bate
NJ. Rouviere explained, to-day, to the
Caffarel inquiry committee, that the
government considered the inquiry
useless, but the committee, by vote of
10 to /, maintained that the inquiry was
necessary.
M. Pichon moved an amendment,
which was rejected after debate, pro-
viding that the AZ per cent. rentes be
converted into per cent. The bill was
then passed in its entirety, by vote. of
276 to 161.
Rouvier consented to reduce the cost
OF the conversion to !, 500 900 francs.
The Chamber then decided that the
report of the committee on the Caffarel
scandal be read forthwith, and the de-
bate on the report was fixed for Satur-

The committee in their report, dis
avow any intention to substitute a
parliamentary investigation for judicial
action, but say they consider that an
inquiry alone can satisfy public opinion.
Rouviere informed the committee that
the government would not make an in
quiry into the Wilson affair cabinet
question. M. Rouviere also made q
long statement which tended to exoner-
ate NJ. Wilson of everything beyond
imprudence.

shooting ARRAY occurred here tonight,
between Edward Richardson, of ST.
Paul. and Fred. Hanson, proprietor Of
the Galloway House, i'll which Richard
son was killed and Hanson fatally
wounded. The cause is supposed to be
jealousy. Richardson was formerly
steward at the Galloway House, but
after his wife, for some reason, got di-
vorce from him, ne left the city, and
Hanson then married the divorced wife.
